NEW YORK, NY -- (MARKET WIRE) -- Jul 18, 2011 -- Coffee stocks have skyrocketed in recent months with a combination of merger speculation and positive earnings fuelling gains. Coffee companies have posted remarkable earnings in recent quarters on record high coffee prices. With the supply picture brightening, and prices sliding, coffee stocks are finally slowing down, however. The Bedford Report examines the outlook for companies in the Coffee Sector and provides investment research on Coffee Holding Co. (NASDAQ: JVA) and Jammin Java Corporation (OTCBB: JAMN).

Last week the International Coffee Organization (ICO) said that world coffee production in the current 2010/2011 crop reached 133.3 million bags, a rise of 8.2 percent from the previous crop year, revising up an earlier estimate. The ICO's figure is above a forecast at 400,000 tonnes, or 6.7 million bags, by the Indonesian Coffee and Cocoa Research Institute, as well as a projection in May at 520,000 tonnes, or 8.67 million bags by the Indonesian Coffee Exporters Association.

According to the official estimates of the Brazilian authorities, production in crop year 2011/2012 will fall by 9.5% in relation to production in crop year 2010/2011. ICO argues that the impact of the fall in Brazilian production will be somewhat offset by the improvement in Colombian production after two crop years of low production levels.

Jammin Java is developing a share of the roasted coffee category and creating a leadership position by capitalizing on the success of the Marley Coffee name through its co-branding license relationship with the privately owned Marley Coffee Company.

Coffee Holding is a leading integrated wholesale coffee roaster and dealer whose private label and branded coffee products are sold throughout the United States, Canada and abroad to supermarkets, wholesalers, and individually owned and multi-unit retail customers. Coffee Holding says that Smucker's recent announcement of their purchase of Cafe Bustelo and Cafe Pilon, the two dominant brands that compete with JVA's Cafe Caribe and Cafe Supremo, "could mark the beginning of these ethnic coffees going main stream."
